Voter-Fraud

While it can be argued that these changes in the voting process would be expensive, the fact is that the billions we spend on our armed forces are wasted if our democracy can be easily subverted by other than military means

President Donald Trump accused Democrat-majority states Thursday of intentionally undermining his newly dissolved Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, contending they "fought hard" to hide records showing that many people voted illegally.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced that he is disbanding a controversial voter fraud commission launched last year in the wake of his baseless claim that he lost the popular vote to Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016 because of millions of illegally cast ballots.

Months after announcing he would seek a "major investigation" into alleged voter fraud in the 2016 cycle, President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday creating a panel to study election integrity.

Ironically, Americans have a direct example of how intervention in a great power's politics can backfire. During the 1990s, U.S. policymakers and experts tried to build a democratic and capitalist Russia from the rubble of the Soviet Union.

Whenever such laws are passed, nearly always in states in which Republicans are in the majority in the legislature and also control the governor's office, the rationale is the same: We need this law to prevent voter fraud. Except, of course, that no one ever produces a single shred of evidence of attempted voter fraud.
